How do you think Floyd would do at 147 agaisnt these 4 recent greats in there prime.
1)Mosley
2)Forrest
3)Tito
4)Oscar
Its still to hard to tell after 1 fight but those wouldve been great fights. He wouldve been at a huge disadvantge (weight wise) in all those fights

First off, Good to see your back posting again:D. Been missing our "friendly debates"! lol.
In my opinion I don't see PBF beating Mosely or Oscar in their primes at 147 I think they were both to fast, strong and technically sound for him to beat either of those two.
But I could see PBF beating both Forrest and Tito by Unanimous dec.
Tito could definately ko Floyd If he were to land clean on him, but I don't think he would be able to deal with Floyds speed and defense, plus Tito always seemed to be awfully weak in the legs at 147.
Forrest as awkward as he was I just was never that impressed with him, I just kinda always thought he just had mosely's number.
mosely was to big, and had a granite chin i dont think floyd would b able to beat him, oscar ithink would beat him in a close fight, and the other 2 i j/ dont no enough about to decide
I dont see him beating any of them right now..who has Floyd fought thats even close to the level of a prime DLH/Tito/Mosely?.. He might beat Forrest..it would be a good fight but Can he box for 12rds againts Tito and not get caught late?..can he outsmart DLH? can he not get hit by Mosely's super fast hands at 147?..Can he get inside on Forrest who has a great jab and straight right and one of the sneakest upper cuts in boxing?..
hmm
All those guys in their prime were great 1t 147. Floyd hasn't proven to be great at 140. All of those guys would beat Floyd. DLH is fast and strong and smart. Forrest has too good of a jab for such a short man. Floyd certainly wouldn't outmuscle Forrest like Mayorga did. Mosley would straight knock Floyd out at that weight, and Tito probably would as well. Floyd would have a 50-50 shot vs Tito. All the others would beat him soundly.
1)Mosley - Floyd fights better from the outside and wouldn't be as wreckless as Mosley. Plus he is just as quick on the release. Close, but clear for Floyd.
2)Forrest - Floyd is not a hyperactive and aggressive fighter like a prime Mosley and would try to box from the outside. May have problems though because Forrest has the basics down and can move. Also can land good power shots from a distance. This is the toughest of them all to call for me.
3)Tito - I THINK Floyd could stay away from his power shots for the distance. But if Tito lands, it would be lights out. BUT! Tito couldn't land anything meaningful vs Oscar who is not as elusive as Floyd, I don't see him doing much better vs Floyd.
4)Oscar - Good chance as Oscar has speed, decent pop, boxing ability, and experience. This would be tough for Floyd like Forrest. But Oscar CAN be hit by sharp punchers and would miss a lot of little flurries vs Floyd. I say Floyd wins a decision.
I LIKE YOUR ASSESEMENT BUT WITH ONE DIFFERENCE, I THINK DLH TAKES IT BECAUSE HE IS THE SMARTEST OF THE 5 AND HE WOULD BE ABLE TO ADAPT MID FIGHT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BEAT FLOYD...
1)Mosley - Floyd fights better from the outside and wouldn't be as wreckless as Mosley. Plus he is just as quick on the release. Close, but clear for Floyd.
2)Forrest - Floyd is not a hyperactive and aggressive fighter like a prime Mosley and would try to box from the outside. May have problems though because Forrest has the basics down and can move. Also can land good power shots from a distance. This is the toughest of them all to call for me.

The jury's still not even out for Floyd at 140, and you guys are saying He is able to beat the past greats at 147.
Oscar is too big, too strong, and too fast for Floyd at 147. Oscar beat up on little guys at 147, and it would be the exact same against Floyd.
Forrest is a very big body, and his jab and right cross would tell the story if this matchup would take place. People forget how good Forrest really was. His loss agaisnt Mayorga definetly overshadow's his wins against Mosley.
I'm sorry, but you can never say that anyone is "too fast for Mayweather" that's just not happening.
A much bigger Forrest (6'0) was schooled by Tszyu (5'7) in the amatures. PB has an excellent defense and will not allow himself to get hit.

How do you think Floyd would do at 147 agaisnt these 4 recent greats in there prime.
1)Mosley
2)Forrest
3)Tito
4)Oscar

I was never big on PBF, but he IS a boxing virtuoso.
Forrest and Tito wouldn't even stand a chance...
Mosley maybe had a small chance, but over the years he slowed down and his chances are gone!
DLH - same as Mosley. 5 years ago, this would have been one crazy fight and I might have favored DLH for his height, power and reach advantage. Now, I don't think he can get in shape, both physically and mentally to challenge Floyd
